Programmer
Description
After surgery, your clinician
used a small computer
(clinician programmer) to
send stimulation instructions
to your neurostimulator.
These instructions control the
stimulation you feel. The
instructions are stored in the
neurostimulator. If needed, your clinician
can use the clinician programmer to change
the instructions.
Stimulation is the delivery of mild electrical
pulses to your sacral nerve by the
neurostimulator. An electrical pulse consists
of three parameters: amplitude, pulse width,
and rate.
• Amplitude is the strength of the pulse.
• Pulse width is the duration of the pulse.
• Rate is the number of pulses per second.
